When it's all done, everyone falls to chatting and socialising, the party spilling out onto the veranda as everyone lets their pokemon out to enjoy in the bounty as well, the nurse bringing out a few choice bits for pokemon with more specialised diets, like Rusty, who happily digs into a cast aluminium figurine with every indication of enjoyment.
Darren shows up halfway through and beams at the party going on, putting a six pack of beer down for the adults among the congregation and a Favourites pack for the kids to take their pick from and producing a trio of berry-topped pavlova to the delight of everyone.
It's not the only desert either:
You whipped up a batch of poached pears and one of the adults prepared a chocolate mousse, while another prepared a muesli slice.
